Windows: If you've forgone installing a Wiki because configuring and running your own web server seemed like a pain, DokuWiki on a Stick packs DokuWiki into a tiny and portable package perfect for USB drives and Dropbox folders.

Rather than burden you with configuring web server settings, installing packages, and other sometimes frustrating tinkering, DokuWiki on a Stick packages DokuWiki with a MicroApache distribution (a slimmed down version of the popular Apache web server software). Unpack it, run the EXE file, and point your web browser at http://localhost:8800/ to start using DokuWiki.

Reader Dragonskin, who brought DokuWiki on a Stick to our attention, takes things a step further by skipping the USB drive installation and tucking DokuWiki on a Stick in his Dropbox account. Not only does it allow him to access DokuWiki wherever he needs to but he can share the DokuWiki folder for private but collaborative wiki editing. DokuWiki on a Stick is a Windows only and free repackaging of the DokuWiki software. Thanks Dragonskin!
